Proverbs

²⁴There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. ²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. ²⁶He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. ²⁷He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour: but he that searcheth after mischief, it shall come unto him. ²⁸He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. ²⁹He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. ³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
